Qs That Need As · Deprogrammed Music Podcast

  It's Deprogrammed, the podcast where we try to get you into a
• 0:23
  band. That's right.
• 0:24
  We've done all the work for you. All you have to do is press play
• 0:27
  and listen. My name is Justin and you can
• 0:31
  call me band curious because I'm indeed curious about bands.
• 0:34
  And typically here on Deprogrammed, what we would do
• 0:37
  is get together, shower a band or artist with some love, and
• 0:42
  then have a conversation and come out with a top ten circuit
• 0:45
  list for you to get in to said band.
• 0:48
  If you're new here, I highly recommend giving a Thursday
• 0:52
  episode a listen so you know what exactly it is I'm talking
• 0:56
  about. If you somehow just randomly
• 0:58
  stumbled on this, hi, please consider giving a subscribe.
• 1:03
  And we do this daily now. And like I said, the big
• 1:07
  episodes are on Thursday. That's where we do the actual
• 1:10
  deprogram Ding. That's a word now.
• 1:14
  It's not deprogramming, it's deprogram Ding.
• 1:19
  So you've stumbled on us on a Friday, which means it's Q&A
• 1:24
  day. And I got a ton of undercutters
• 1:28
  questions, mostly from Joe. I, I think a couple people
• 1:33
  tagged on here in an attempt to just jump in.
• 1:39
  Well, they saw Joe going and, and decided that they wanted
• 1:42
  into. So I went ahead and asked the
• 1:45
  boys to answer some of these as well.
• 1:49
  So the first question was da da da when can I get the vinyl?
• 1:56
  Which was actually a response to I put out if you wanted to pre
• 2:00
  save Domesticated nostalgia, which the Undercutters EP just
• 2:05
  recently hit. Streaming is also available on
• 2:07
  band camp. Any way you want to do that?
• 2:11
  You know, we just want people to hear it.
• 2:13
  Is is the is the big thing. When can I get the vinyl is the
• 2:18
  question. And the answer from DJ was Lol.
• 2:23
  And the answer from Josh was, are you, are you offering to
• 2:30
  release it? The my answer is somewhere in
• 2:36
  between the two of them, there will be a physical release.
• 2:40
  We're probably putting out CDs Vinyl is iffy.
• 2:47
  And I'm sure you've heard this before.
• 2:48
  And if you have, I mean, most, a lot of the people that listen to
• 2:51
  this are musicians, so they're already familiar with with this.
• 2:54
  But vinyl's, it's expensive to press.
• 2:57
  So I'm not saying it's not going to happen.
• 3:01
  It may, but it's it's just expensive.
• 3:05
  So we have a buddy, Eric, who was talking about getting a
• 3:10
  press. Who knows if he did or not.
• 3:15
  If he did then we might press with him, who knows.
• 3:19
  But if we can find a reasonable price to press at, we will
• 3:27
  probably release final. But in other words, I would just
• 3:31
  expect a disc, possibly cassettes.
• 3:34
  Most likely just a disc for domesticated nostalgia.
• 3:40
  The second question, name a low and middle top tier venue you'd
• 3:44
  love undercutters to play at. D JS answer the white oaks.
• 3:50
  That's the answer. Fall 3 and Josh.
• 3:54
  Literally anywhere but Frank's. We've only played like 3 spots
• 4:00
  now. I'd love to play the warehouse
• 4:01
  again, that was a really great spot.
• 4:03
  But there is a chance that we're going to be playing the American
• 4:09
  Theater sometime this summer. Again, that's a don't hold your
• 4:13
  breath. And it's looking like we might
• 4:16
  get to play a couple songs at Matt's birthday in July at the
• 4:21
  Hampton History Museum. This isn't answering the
• 4:23
  question. I, you know, the, the chalk
• 4:27
  answer is to play the Norva. You know, I don't want to go
• 4:37
  chalk, but I, I feel like when it comes to around here, that's
• 4:41
  the one. Like, you know, it's a 1500
• 4:47
  seater. So it feels like if we're big
• 4:51
  enough to be playing a 1500, you know, I, I've seen the place
• 4:55
  empty. So like, I'm not this isn't
• 4:58
  delusions of grandeur, but like if we're big enough to play of
• 5:03
  1500 seater and right behind it, I want to say it used to be
• 5:10
  Juma's Jewish mother backstage. I don't know what it's called
• 5:15
  now. Chichos, Chichos backstage
• 5:20
  maybe, But they've got a nice stage that I haven't been able
• 5:24
  to play. It's a reasonable sized venue.
• 5:27
  I say I haven't been able to play.
• 5:29
  I haven't been able to play anywhere.
• 5:31
  So if you'd like the undercutters to come play,
• 5:34
  figure out a way to get us there and we'll come play.
• 5:37
  I know this is a kind of a cop out, but yeah, I, I, I feel like
• 5:42
  that's that's the best I can answer.
• 5:45
  When do we get a finger me reboot.
• 5:48
  So DJ answers soon. Question mark and Josh Josh's
• 5:56
  answer, write your congressman the real answer.
• 5:59
  This, of course, is somewhere in between.
• 6:01
  We've technically recorded a version of it where cause DJ and
• 6:10
  I kind of talked about it before that show you came and saw said
• 6:14
  Joe The Warehouse 1 And I kind of put it in front of the boys
• 6:21
  like I had reworked an idea or reworked the idea for it.
• 6:25
  So there is like a demo version of it that exists, but we've
• 6:29
  only played it the once and then we had to get back into show
• 6:32
  rehearsal mode and it hit the cutting room floor.
• 6:36
  So maybe this week at practice it'll get back into rotation and
• 6:44
  be finished and or ready by the next time we play and maybe on
• 6:47
  the next EP, which might be this year, because we already have a
• 6:51
  minimum of two songs that are ready to go.
• 6:54
  We just haven't obviously recorded them yet.
• 6:58
  Any chance undercutters remakes erase your face DJ?
• 7:03
  Nope, exclamation point and non zero seems fair as Josh Josh's
• 7:10
  answer. Yeah, I mean, I'd I would say
• 7:13
  it's non 0 just because 2 fourths of stale is in this
• 7:16
  band. I just don't think it's likely.
• 7:20
  A lot of those songs we've talked about like the way I used
• 7:25
  to write a lot here and a lot of those songs are lyric heavy and
• 7:30
  Jonathan was a better guitar player than I am.
• 7:33
  So like I, you know, some of them I can, I can play like the
• 7:36
  opening riff to Sleepy. I could probably learn Yellow
• 7:43
  Pages. There's like a handful that I
• 7:45
  might be able to learn to play and sing.
• 7:48
  But realistically, Finger Me is probably the only song that
• 7:54
  makes it out of that record and into becoming an undercutter
• 7:59
  song. All right, if you could cover 5
• 8:04
  tracks turned into a parody Weird Al style, what would it
• 8:07
  be? D JS answer not.
• 8:11
  I'm not thinking that hard right now because they just got off of
• 8:14
  work. Josh's answer?
• 8:17
  I'd be more interested in covering Weird Al parody songs
• 8:20
  in the style of real songs. Let's say Eat It, Amish
• 8:22
  Paradise, My Balona, Fat and Like a Surgeon.
• 8:29
  Yeah, I think so. I've always been of the mindset
• 8:32
  I'd rather cover a Weird Al original.
• 8:36
  And to that point I had learned Frank's 2000 inch TV and turned
• 8:41
  it into a punk song. I do have an acoustic version of
• 8:44
  that somewhere. I want to I I was going to toss
• 8:49
  it to the boys when the band started getting together because
• 8:52
  I did that and dare to be stupid.
• 8:55
  Both of those I think are excellent for like Undercutters,
• 8:59
  but I found out that I forget the guy's name.
• 9:03
  I was talking to Brandon one night on an episode of After the
• 9:08
  Fact after we we did an episode or a deprogram pod, and he said
• 9:12
  that somebody had done Weird Al Originals EP where they covered
• 9:18
  three Weird Al originals and two of them were the ones that I had
• 9:22
  just mentioned. So that question spawned an
• 9:31
  answer from John, who said or if Weird Al covered an Undercutter
• 9:37
  song, what would it be to watch Jay Joe said who would cover
• 9:41
  Weird Al covering Undercutters. And John said Undercutters, of
• 9:45
  course, which is true? I'm guessing, yeah.
• 9:52
  So I'm guessing. Anderson asked is it true that
• 9:56
  the full length album is going to be titled Knife Time?
• 10:00
  And Josh DJ didn't answer it, but Josh answered possible but
• 10:05
  unlikely. And then in response to the
• 10:10
  exchange, Joe or Josh answered bike route to the tune of psych
• 10:15
  out about a person person on route to work on their bike and
• 10:20
  all the crazy things they encounter.
• 10:21
  The exchange that includes this question appears to have
• 10:24
  preemptively stolen my idea from question 5.
• 10:26
  And I'd like to state for the record that I read these in the
• 10:29
  order that they were presented to me.
• 10:30
  And so my answer to number 5 was not influenced by that exchange.
• 10:36
  Yeah, to me, I'm, I, I wouldn't mind covering a Weird Al song,
• 10:41
  changing styles. Like, like I said, we did right.
• 10:46
  I've, I did a punk version of, of Frank's 2000 inch TV and I
• 10:54
  did AI, you know, grungy, I guess an alt 90s version of Dare
• 11:02
  to be stupid and I'd love for those to see the light of day.
• 11:06
  I, you know, I, I think dare to dare to be stupid.
• 11:10
  It's a lot of words that I would have to rememorize.
• 11:15
  At one point I had him at the drop of the hat.
• 11:17
  It would take me a while to to get that back, whereas Frank's
• 11:22
  2000 inch TV would take me like all of 30 minutes to have it
• 11:27
  back and ready to perform. And then we got one more
• 11:31
  question from Brian, which was not related to the band at all.
• 11:36
  He asked if a hot dog is a sandwich.
• 11:40
  This it it's, it's unanswerable because what defines a sandwich?
• 11:48
  Meat between bread, right? So technically yes, but you
• 11:55
  know, all signs point to no. Like, I would say like if if you
• 12:00
  get sausage, if you get like a sausage roll, right?
• 12:03
  Like, and I mean, like if you get a bun and you put a sausage
• 12:10
  on it, is that a sandwich? I don't know.
• 12:15
  Is a hot dog a sandwich? That's a bigger question than I
• 12:18
  can answer. Brian, how dare you bring that
• 12:20
  here? So if anybody thinks they have
• 12:22
  the answer to that, please let us know.
• 12:25
  As always, forever taking questions.
• 12:28
  We try to do AQ and A every Friday.
• 12:30
  So if you would like to get your question in Discord is the best
• 12:35
  way. And the best easy, fastest way
• 12:38
  to get to the discord is by pledging the
• 12:40
  patreonpatreon.com/oh. Hi Justin, a dollar a month gets
• 12:43
  you in the door and also gets you that invite to the Discord.
• 12:48
  If you don't want to do that, it's cool.
• 12:49
  One step, you know, one step more is just asking me for the
• 12:53
  link and I'll get you the link. You come join and jump in the
• 12:56
